That's MIME encoding. Some dumb mailers do that automagically when
8-bit characters are used in a message. =20 is a space.

If the mailer is neat, it puts the MIME stuff in an attachment, which you
can possibly decrypt. If not, you can either construct the correct MIME
headers by hand and decrypt it, or replace all those =XX's by the correct
characters. (A nasty one is the =3D for a simple "=" sign).
